The Black Five was a mixed-traffic locomotive, a "do-anything go-anywhere" type, designed by Stanier, who had previously been with the GWR.In his early LMS days, he designed his Stanier Mogul 2-6-0, experimenting with the GWR school of thought on locomotive design.
An 18-inch minimum gauge model of No. 1 was built in 1898, at the Regent Street Polytechnic, from a set of parts supplied by W. G. Bagnall. Amongst the students at Regent Street who worked on the model was Henry Greenly who later became a celebrated miniature locomotive builder and supplied locomotives for the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.
His notes on various aspects of locomotive construction were compiled into a book called Shops, Shed, and Road, [13] first published in 1929 and still considered to be a standard reference for the model engineer (republished in 1950 as The Live Steam Book and in 1969 as LBSC's Shop, Shed and Road with singular Shop). Through his articles LBSC ...
One of the smallest (Z scale, 1:220) placed on the buffer beam of one of the largest (Live steam, 1:8) model locomotives.Rail transport modelling uses a variety of scales (ratio between the real world and the model) to ensure scale models look correct when placed next to each other.
The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class J39 was a class of medium powered 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed for mixed-traffic work throughout the former LNER system between London and the north of Scotland. [3]
On one side was the development of a steam turbine locomotive, eventually designated as Class V1 resembling the later Chesepeake & Ohio M-1, albeit with a 4-8-0+4-8-0 wheel arrangement. This locomotive spent years in development, but never materialized, though did culminate in the construction of the S2 of 1944.
